For Sale I have a Really Neat piece of Art Pottery made by The Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is called "Futura" and it is the Deco Leaves Design. The shape is called a "Hanging Planter" and it has a Conical Shape. The Planter is a good size as it measures 5 1/4" tall and is 7 1/2" in diameter. The Planter has a nice Matte Brown Background Glaze. It is accented with Colorful Deco Shaped Leaves. They are done in Glazes of Soft Matt Purples, Blues, Greens and a Medium Mustard Yellow. This is a very lovely combination. This is one of the Hardest to Find Shapes in the Futura Deco Leaves Line. The Ringed Neck with a Green Overspray is the finishing touch. The Hanging Planter has 3 Factory Made Holes as to allow for the hooks to hold the Chain. I'm not sure if the Hooks and Chain are original to the Pot but I will include them to the Buyer. The Planter is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There is a small area that is light on the Brown Glaze and shows the lighter colored clay underneath. I would call this almost a Glaze Miss as there is some Glaze there. Other than this the piece is Excellent. The 3 Holes that the Hooks are in show no damage and that is usually where it is on these pieces. The piece is unsigned but there is no mistaken this to be Futura made by Roseville Pottery. It is known as shape number 344-5" in the Roseville Catalog pages. Those of you who collect this pattern line and want an excellent example will surely welcome this one into their collection. The Futura line was created as a "Step into the Future" as it is a design of things to come. This pattern will work in Modern, Art Deco, Arts and Crafts and virtually any style Decor. This piece was made, circa 1924.
